Better Beauty Through Science Doesn’t Mean We’re Not Aging


It seems that there might be confusion when it comes to aging versus looking younger. The advertisers have naturally used words that are commonly associated with being young. Youthful, anti-aging, and of course, the common phrase, ‘turn back the hands of time.’ Looking young isn’t the same thing as being young.

After liposuction your body may not even closely resemble a woman’s body of more than 40 years old. And yet it can be so easy to forget that the heart is still 40 years old. The best skin care products can wipe off those wrinkles but that doesn’t mean you don’t need skin cancer screenings every year. We have the scientific ability to look and feel years younger than we are, but we can’t openly ignore the important annual check ups that keep us that way.

A muscle workout routine may very well keep you in better shape but today it seems that we have forgotten that we can be much older than we look. It’s perfectly acceptable if you don’t even want to act your age, but your body needs you to remember that with internal age, things start to wear down, develop illnesses, and create health problems.

Fortunately, thanks to science, not only can we look perpetually younger but we can also keep our aging insides healthier with early detection. Early detection increases survival rates of just about every potentially terminal disease out there. Without the benefit of knowing early, treating early, and beating it early the survival rate goes down considerably.

You don’t have to give up being young at heart and cool enough to blend in with the younger generations, but you do have to make sure that your body is healthy enough for your lifestyle.

It has been said that the ability to strive for a wrinkle free, anti sun spot, perfectly toned face is a wonderful scientific achievement. The fact that breast cancer survival has increased by over 80% over the last ten years is also a wonderful scientific achievement.

We can combine our youthful desire to be happy, feel good, take care of the way we look and still make sure that we are here in our next decade to continue the tradition. While we can’t pretend that aging doesn’t exist, we can imply that it is possible to hold off the look of aging for a long time. The internal signs of aging are another story if we ignore them.
